Mountain tips?

We are currently in the planning stages for a 4 day vacation trip to the mountains in June.

We want the least amount of driving, so we are concentrating oin the Blue Ridge Mountains area of the Appalachian Ridge, in the crossing area where Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina meet. The Smoky Mountains are tempting, but that would add a lot of extra driving for us.

We have already located several luxury cabins that cater to people with dogs. Three in particular are very nice, fenced back yards and right on the river. The hard part will be to choose which one!

Cabin 1

Cabin 2

Cabin 3

If anyone have any tips regarding this area I would love to hear them! Great day hike trails, things to do, national parks, things of that sort. Mainly in the Fannin County area. Perhaps Desiree might have some good tips, you live only about 3-4 hours from this area, or Fia?

We are looking forward to explore an area that is quite different from Florida. Should be a lot of fun, something that we have been talking about for years now!

Jag röstar på stuga 1 sen i andra hand stuga 2.
Verkligen en super mysig idé. Och så olikt platta Florida.
Är det delar/bifloder av Tennessee River som strömmar förbi på bilderna?

Den ena floden heter Elijah River och den andra Fightingtown Creek, jag tror de är båda ganska små floder som kommer uppifrån bergen. Man ska tydligen kunna fiska gott om forell och laxöring här i alla fall!
